Protherm 9800
In the next phase of plant management development, PT9800 has evolved to QMULUS, an IIoT platform, inheriting its legacy while expanding capabilities to new heights. The proven and well-known functionalities of PT9800 are now an integral part of QMULUS, offering extended functionalities for enhanced efficiency and decision-making. Beyond familiar features like real-time monitoring, production logs, chart recorders, remote access, and control, newly enhanced functionalities such as recipe management and shop layout contribute to an adaptive operational environment. Comprehensive dashboard views of digital and analog points, operations, maintenance, and performance enable a better understanding of processes and provide a holistic view of operational assets. Thorough statistics on alarms, consumption, utilization, and historical trends empower users with valuable insights for strategic decision-making. With these scalable features and more, businesses can future-proof their operations while maximizing productivity and competitiveness.
Explore the all new QMULUS, the successor of Protherm 9800 to unlock the full potential of your heat treatment operations.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The system structure is based on three scalable tiers with add-on modules for specific requirements. The Protherm 9800 Chart Recorder basically offers batch production logs, alarm and event logging. It can be upgraded to the full Protherm 9800 SCADA & Process Control System (PCS) which includes chart recorder features and the recipe interface for various furnaces, internal programmer functions, the Process-Electronic Diffusion Simulation Model, lab reports, maintenance scheduler and more. The SCADA & PCS tier can be further upscaled to the Protherm Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that offers such modules as Equipment Usage Calculation, Outage Documentation, Consumption Evaluation, Part Serial Number Tracking, Load Planning & Tracking System, Lights-out Automation and Statistical Process Control.
